According to reports from MI-6, glam electronica band Goldfrapp are close to being confirmed as the title song artists for the forthcoming James Bond film Casino Royale.

No singing “Goldfrapp” to the tune of Goldfinger, now.

Goldfrapp, a British electronica duo from Bath, Somerset, consists of Alison Goldfrapp (lead vocals. keyboards, synthesizer) and Will Gregory (keyboards, synthesizer).

The duo released their debut album, Felt Mountain, in the winter of 2000 to much acclaim. The album was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize the following year and produced two minor successful singles in the UK.

Their second album Black Cherry was released in the beginning of 2003, and took the group into a new, more commercial direction. Their third album Supernature was released in 2005 to great success, peaking at number two in the UK and achieving platinum status, becoming Goldfrapp’s most successful commercial release to date.

ElectroKraft, a creator of exotic, retro-space age electronics, has introduced another freaky creation - the Lunar Module, an alternative controller that uses photocells to enable theremin-like control of MIDI signals.

“I have created an exciting alternative MIDI controller that will produce sounds and rhythms not before possible with currently available midi controllers,” says ElectroKraft’s Tony Amendolare. “The Lunar Module will transform your store bought sound modules, synths and drum machines into completely new instruments.”

Features:

Photocell control: Use your hands to control the amount of light or shadow that reaches each photocell. Control any midi receiving device like a Theremin.

Standard controls include sound bank change, note on/off, octave changes, and an “all sounds off” button.

Customizing: Through custom programming an array of options can be added to the “Lunar Module” like pitch bend, sustain, modulation wheel, etc.
